Today In "Both Sides Do It", Ctd.

Today the Lieberman Prize for First Rate Backstabbing Bullshittery goes to Bob Kerrey for torturing the word "partisan" until it means whatever the fuck he wants it to mean:

Sen. Bob Kerrey: Partisan torture report failed America

The money quote (emphasis added):

I do not need to read the report to know that the Democratic staff alone wrote it. The Republicans checked out early when they determined that their counterparts started out with the premise that the CIA was guilty and then worked to prove it.

And between the bellowing about Liberty from the fascist Right and the truckling about "partisanship" from the fascist-enabling Center, so shall another Conservative atrocity be folded gently up like Old Glory and shoved down the memory hole.

Intelligence agencies need guidance to do better, Senate Democrats failed to provide it sayeth the former senator.

How about this for "Guidance?" "Hey, CIA officers: read this report. If you find your self confused, just remember that you shouldn't practice any of the 'techniques' discussed in this document, because they are both illegal, as in crimes, and immoral."

Kerrey forgot to include those limp-wristed liberal generals who've been discussing this since *before* the Obama Admin. Fuckshit.http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2008/06/18/41514_general-who-probed-abu-ghraib.html?rh=1
